GRPC for low-memory environments.

The existing grpc-go project requires a lot of memory overhead for importing
packages and at runtime. While this is great for many services with low density
requirements, this can be a problem when running a large number of services on
a single machine or on a machine with a small amount of memory.

Using the same GRPC definitions, this project reduces the binary size and
protocol overhead required. We do this by eliding the net/http, net/http2
and grpc package used by grpc replacing it with a lightweight framing
protocol. The result are smaller binaries that use less resident memory with
the same ease of use as GRPC.

Please note that while this project supports generating either end of the
protocol, the generated service definitions will be incompatible with regular
GRPC services, as they do not speak the same protocol.
